===========================================================================

MUI is located in a commercial, rich neighborhood surrounded by other campuses, both private and government universities, institutes, business points, tourist attractions, corporate offices, a large sports ground, and this was part of the city where the high society resided, including a few ministers. A few meters away from our university was the best getaway for students and a celebration spot, which was the arcade mall along with a famous historic park.

Throughout campus, the color theme most prominent were blue, silver, yellow, and apple green. The campus building is surrounded by a car park that can allocate parking space for 15 vans. In the car park, one side was reserved for lecturers cars, the other side was for motorbikes only except for students vehicles as they had to park outside campus, and the shaded area of the car park was where campus vehicles were parked, in this side of the car park we had our campus bookshop, where we can purchase all stationeries, sanitary products, backpacks, key tags, phone covers, imitation jewelry and other accessories, party decorations, reload data and phone credit, get photocopies and printouts, hard binding too. Our bookshop in charge was very friendly and knew most of the students, we were one of the few he recognized. After the pandemic, the entrance gate, where the watchman hut was, now had a body scanner of some sort, I am not aware what it is called.  

If you enter through the shaded area of the car park, the entrance next to the bookshop, we enter straight into the waiting lobby where both the KENT computer labs entrance was, one lab to the left and the other to the right. Between the waiting lobby and the rest of the building was a small corridor that had a steep and narrow stairway from the ground floor to the fourth floor, which was an access route from behind the building. When you look down from the fourth floor while climbing the stairs it gave an illusion of you falling down, therefore, my friends and I call this the suicide point. Crossing this corridor, to our left, we have the cashier and the ground floor and another set of stairways through the building that was wide than the stairway in the corridor and then the lift big enough for 11 people. To the right, we have the digital campus office and the ground floor A-building girls washroom, with the helpers' staff room, which also had an open corridor towards the canteen. Opposite the lift was the Seminar room and to the right is a lecture hall. Between the lift and this lecture hall was the reception area, the entrance to the reception was a little ahead from the entrance gate than the lobby entrance.

Then we have a narrow corridor with an entrance to another lecture hall on to the right but heading straight we enter into the canteen. The canteen was a large space in the building and a favorite of all students. As you enter through the corridor to both sides we have chairs only and a reload machine. Then there is a sloping entrance towards the car park to the left and to the right, we have another stairway and an 8 person weight lift that only gives access to another side of the building from the ground floor to the second floor. The third floor of this part of the building was used as a store and students were not allowed. The canteen was separated into two areas, one was the main area with yellow-themed tables and chairs, and the canteen bar, where we have meals for breakfast and lunch, other refreshments and eatables with milk tea in the evening. The other area, a step below, had blue and white tables and chairs, recycle bins, water filters, and hand washbasins, including a birthday corner and photoshoot corner with graphical back walls. Through this section, we had access to the Student Care Unit, our go-to when something goes wrong with our devices, or if we want to install any software.

The Chairman and the Director's offices were on the first floor A-building, where the school of language lectures was conducted, with the nurse room on the same floor. We would admire our Chairman's office, it was designed to look like as if it was out of an office catalog, so modern and attractive. The first-floor B-Building, above the canteen, had a large lecture hall mostly used for business school lectures, a computer lab, and on the other side were some of the management staff cabins.

School of Business programme office, their lecture halls, a common study area for all faculties, exam unit, lunch area opposite the exam unit where afternoon Sumo uncles tea was served, auditorium and a computer lab were all spaciously built on the second floor.

Our library was the next largest section on our campus after the canteen, which took up the entire third floor alongside the business school lecturers' staff room and campus meeting halls. They recently redesigned the library, one side completely separated for the digital section, a rack for our bags as we weren't allowed to bring in our bags with bean bags at the entrance, it also had the librarians office, and the library study area, however, this was rarely used. Students loved the second-floor study area because we could play music and no matter how loud we get we never get called out for it.

The fourth floor was for the school of computing, which had its own programme office, lecturer's staff area, study area, six labs - two of them were networking labs, the Hector hall, and a career guidance office.
